Ooh, I have one!

When you open jet cans, loot containers, wrecks, profession (Radar, Salvager) cans, add a nice "Loading..." text while the client is waiting to find out if it's empty, and a nice "Empty" when the client has confirmed with the server that it is indeed empty.

First, I still feel you need to clarify what the LIVE team does exactly? It seems like this overlaps with Team BFFs "thousand papercuts" project? Or are you something different? DO you not focus on papercuts and on iterating certain features beyond just "fixing" them? Or? Take a moment and clarify a little more on what we should be expecting from you please.

How do we know whether the cause of something that is slow is the client and not the server or something else?
From a developer point of view it's probably obvious, but that doesn't necessarily apply to us the players.

Or do you just want a list of all things I try to do which don't happen quickly enough?

Seriously, this is the ONE

To apply to join an Alliance you have to LOAD that WHOLE alliance list and dig through and find the ONE ALLIANCE that you want out of thousands.

Seriously, this is the perfect intersection you're looking at between Performance and Interface that I think your team is supposed to handle. First of all it takes an age to load that Alliance list - and second, you need to go digging through a list of Thousands!

Whatever you choose to do to fix it... it can be many different things, please this is the one thing to fix. It makes no sense and is the kind of thing that leaves a bad taste in your mouth after you apply to an alliance because of the client.

I know this doesn't hit 300,000 users every day, but it's something that you don't forget after you've done it. A few times.


ANOTHER good one

Opening Agent Missions - I think the performance on this could be better. When I talk to an agent I get a big screen that shrinks down and then loads everything. It needs to be a smoother operation - preload it, put a "Fetching data" and then display properly. I don't know why it takes a few seconds to do this, but it can be better for sure.

It's simple:

STOP making things PRETTY, SHINY or NEW.

Make things WORK !

Nobody needs animations in the neocom, ...

FIX BUGS, Speed up the client on older machines,

PLEASE just make the game work. Nothing else matters guys !

Hope this thread is still being read up on.


I have been getting a weird glitch - and others as well...


When going to "cook" my modules and lock a target - the modules don't always activate on lock completion.


Cooking means when you click on the modules and they start blinking with nothing to activate on - so when you lock the immediately engage. This has been VERY unreliable as of late, and seems like the kind of thing you take care of - can you look into this?

Thanks!
